I don't recall the exact thread, sorry, but it's there somewhere.
The point is that you don't want to do anything that takes a long time from a udev rule, especially one that can cause other events to fire off, like mounting can do. You want the rule to be fast and ideally, just kick off something else that does the real work.
That is why udisks was created the way it was.
Any further questions you have about this should be on the linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org list, not here.
As I know automounting is historically done through udev rules... Otherwise a special resident daemon is needed which is not better than having resident hal. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
